You can also use the S-Video jack for Satellite

or Digital Cable. For more information see Video

Mode on page 10.

To connect an S-Video source:

Plug an S-Video cable from the camera,

VCR, game machine or satellite/cable

receiver into the S-Video connection on the

back of the DKEC.

Insert audio cables from the S-Video

device into the Audio In connections in the

back of the DKEC.

Connect Camera/VCR/Video Game

Using the DKEC Video Mode, you can monitor

another area of your home where a video

camera is installed, play a video game or view a

video tape in a VCR using a composite signal.

Since Video Mode supports both composite and

S-Video sources, you can toggle between the

two signals by repeatedly pressing the Video

mode button. For more information see Video

Mode on page 10.

NOTE:

At this time, Video mode supports only one

Audio source which will continue to play

when you toggle between Video signals.

To connect a composite source:

Plug an RCA cable from a camera, VCR or

game machine into the Video In connection

on the back of the DKEC.

Insert audio cables from the device into the

Audio In connections on the back of the

DKEC.

Connecting the fm Radio Antenna

You can use the DKEC to listen to your favorite

local FM radio stations in FM Radio Mode.

Enclosed with your DKEC FlipScreen is an FM

radio antenna.

To connect the fm Antenna:

1. Make sure the DKEC unit is powered off by

checking the LED on the front of the unit –

it should be black and unlit. The power can

be turned off using the red rocker switch on

the back of the unit.

2. Remove the antenna from the DKEC

packaging

3. Attach the antenna by screwing it onto the

fm Antenna coaxial socket on the back of

the screen.

Connecting to the Internet

The DKEC supports three types of Internet

connectivity using a PCMCIA Network card.

Depending upon which type of card is used, you

can connect using:

Wired (Ethernet) Broadband. Your

broadband service may be provided over

DSL or cable modem.

Wireless (802.11b) Broadband. This

requires a wireless network.

Dial-Up Internet Access. The dial-up

Internet services must not require the

installation of additional software.

Wired Broadband Connectivity

Your DKEC accessories box includes a PCMCIA

Network card which supports an Ethernet

connection to a DSL or cable modem. Because

the DKEC uses the Windows CE .NET platform,

we cannot ensure that an alternate network card

will work. Please contact customer support for a

current list of alternate supported cards.

The following instructions assume that your

DSL/cable modem and home network are

already installed and configured. For more

detailed Internet Connection information, refer to

the Installation Manual.

To connect using a Wired Broadband (DSL

or cable modem) connection:

1. Insert the networking card, with the card’s

label facing toward the center of the

device, into the PCMCIA slot on the back

of the DKEC.

2. Insert an Ethernet cable from your home

network into the Ethernet jack on the

PCMCIA card.

In most cases, no further connection

settings are required. If no connection

is established when you first go to

Internet Mode, see Configuring a

Wired Broadband Connection on page

8 for more information.

Wireless Broadband Connectivity

There are two ways to connect the DKEC to

your wireless network:

Using an approved wireless PCMCIA

Network card; or,

Using a wireless bridge connected to the

ethernet PCMCIA card.

Because the DKEC uses the Windows CE .NET

platform, we cannot ensure the compatibility

of all wireless network cards. Please contact

customer support for a current list of supported

wireless PCMCIA networking cards.

To connect using a wireless pCmCIA card:

1. Insert a wireless networking card, with the

label facing the center of the device, into

the PCMCIA slot on the back of the DKEC.

Further configuration settings are

required to connect to your wireless

network. See Configuring a Wireless

Connection on page 8.

To connect using a wireless bridge:

1. Insert the included networking card into the

PCMCIA slot on the back of the DKEC.

2. Connect the wireless bridge to your home

PC and configure it following the directions

provided by the manufacturer of the bridge.

3. When the wireless bridge is properly

configured for your wireless network,

disconnect it from your home PC.

4. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the

bridge, and one end into the Ethernet jack

on the PCMCIA card.

In most cases, no further connection

settings are required. If no connection

is established when you first go to

Internet Mode, see Configuring a

Wired Broadband Connection on page

9 for more information.

Dial-Up Connectivity:

To connect to a dial-up Internet provider, you will

need to use a PCMCIA modem card equipped

with an RJ-11 phone jack.

NOTE:

The DKEC does not currently support any

ISps that require downloading or installing

software. At the time of the printing of this

manual, AOL is an example of an ISp that

will not work with the DKEC because of

their download requirements, although you

can still retrieve AOL mail using the DKEC

Internet browser.

To connect using a Dial-Up connection:

1. Insert the modem card, with the card’s

label facing toward the center of the

device, into the PCMCIA slot on the back

of the DKEC.

2. Plug the analog telephone line into RJ-11

jack on the modem card.

Further configuration is required. See

Configuring a Dial-Up Connection on

page 9.

CAUTION:

Do not connect the DKEC to a digital phone

line. Severe damage can occur to the DKEC.

Digital Versus Analog phone Lines

Two types of phone lines are commonly

available: analog and digital. Most homes are

wired with analog phone lines. Digital lines

are usually found in commercial and industrial

sites. However, newer homes, apartments, and

condominiums may be prewired with high-speed

digital phone lines.

All modems, including that in a PCMCIA

networking card, require an analog phone line.

Connecting a modem to a digital line will cause

permanent damage to the modem.

To determine which type of line you have, look

at the phone line connector. An analog phone

connector is terminated with 2 or 4 copper

wires. A digital connector is terminated with

6 or 8 copper wires. If you cannot determine

for certain which type of phone line you have,

contact your phone service provider.

If You have a Digital phone Line

In commercial buildings, apartment buildings,

and condominiums, digital phone lines usually

come from a telephone switch or PBX located

in the building. These telephone switches will

also support analog phone lines. The telephone

system administrator may be able to arrange

for an analog phone line to be brought to your

location from the local telephone switch.

If you live in a house wired with a digital line,

you can arrange with your phone company to

have an analog line brought into your home.

In addition, many digital phone manufacturers

offer inexpensive adapters that plug into the

digital phone line and convert it to an analog

line. These adapters usually work best at lower

modem speeds.
